Ive had them all and Garrison is still best in my books. The best part is i can get Garrison at the LC every fall! Gotta love it!

Your original post didn't have the word "Canadian" in it. You were just making an overall statement on what you like from a DIPA, or at least that's the way that your post read.

Haven't had the other two, but I would agree with 10BY, with the exception of the most recent batch that I tried...

Seems odd, but on a recent trip to N.S. I much preferred Garrison Hop Yard to Propeller's "regular" IPA, yet preferred the Propeller IIPA to Garrison's. Not sure why.

Sorry for not putting the word "Canadian" in my initial post. Hahhahhahah, Thanks for all the great rec's. 10BYS is def up there but would take a Garrison or Phillips Amnesiac over it any day of the weeK. Have fun boys!

No worries. In the world of DIPAs it is a pretty key word.

I forgot about Amnesiac. That would be at or near the top of my list too.

I like 10BY and Witchshark for local stuff, but I like me a good Dbl Hop Head, too. I think when we had Gemini a while back that was the first really good DIPA from the U.S. I drank, so I have a soft spot for that one.

I see what you did there.

Garrison Imperial is a damned good beer, but it drinks like some sort of 1.5X IPA, if that makes sense.

Wow, a pissing competition about double IPAs on Bar Towel. I'm shocked!

I don't see it as such. Amnesiac is the best one though. Fact.

You guys remember Duggan's #99? That was supposed to be a DIPA, but it was ratherrrr... double-caramalty.

The #9 still does well on tap. Mike D will be back!
